2. A small corner shelving unit - For the side of the overhead cupboard to display the frequently used items (see 3 and 4). As this will be close to the window open shelves will be less evasive and not block the window like a full cupboard will.

3. A terrarium or house plant - Sitting right in front of the window will be the perfect place for a house plant and hopefully with all the sunlight it won't succumb to my black thumb ways!

5. Laundry Pin Up Art - Following my love for pin up art if I can find a cheeky laundry style art for this room that would be perfect. Or a metal vintage sign would look good too.

6. Tiles - I had in mind using grey tiles for the floor and white tiles for the kick tile. For the splash back we were going to use our leftover white tiles from the bathroom renovation, but I really like the look of feature mosaic tiles like these green/blue tiles.

7. Laundry work top - I want the work top to be one long piece from wall to door frame with a sink cut out. I'm thinking a dark wood look might play in nicely with our jarrah floorboards. Oh what a treat to have a bench in this room I won't have to sort clothes all over the floor!

8. Laundry mixer tap - A large modern mixer tap that can maneuver around and fill up buckets and so forth.

9. Laundry sink - A round silver sink built into the bench so it's seamless and neat. Gone are the days of the massive laundry trough, I don't think there's a need for a huge trough.

You can see my mood board on Polyvore here with links of where you can buy the items.

Michelle - I think your mood board is great and your left-over white tiles will fit in perfectly well. I love the poster and the colours in the mosaic tiles work nicely with it. Personally, I think the size of mosaic tiles could make it a bit too busy looking. Thanks for introducing me to Polyvore - a new toy for me to play with.

I dont think Iv ever seen a ceramic sink in the laundry, only plastic or steel. There wont be the pitter patter of feet for me in this house, but maybe for the next family that live there. Something to think about to make sure the sink is big enough for a little bath tub! Thanks Rae :)

Love it, Michelle. And a mixer tap that can be maneuvered will be real handy too. I love having plants indoors - may I suggest airplants for the laundry? They're really easily to maintain and look great.

I look forward to seeing how it all pans out.Just wanted you to know, I nominated you for the KIdspot Voices of 2014 campaign. Thanks for all the support you constantly give me and my blog. Good luck with your lovely blog in the comp. Carolyn

Wow thanks so much Carolyn I feel very honoured! I love being a part of the blogging community theres such kindness and support from everyone, its what keeps me blogging all these years! Thanks again xx

Looks great Michelle... you have the same benchtop I want for our laundry, I love butcher block benchtops! I have a laundry-related question for you as you are my go-to expert... do you know how difficult it is (and how expensive) to get the water pipes for the washing machine moved? Ours are in the middle of a wall, the cabinetmaker told me they should be changed to go under the sink so we don't have ugly water pipes sticking out of the middle of our new splashback. Mr Nerd thinks it is going to be really expensive and isn't too keen on going that route!

Hey Maya I thought I emailed you but will reply here as well incase the email is lost in junk land! Im not sure what the cost of moving the pipes will be but for us its a necessity so we can add overhead cupboards and a splash back. I will let you know, hopefully it isnt too expensive!
